To find the volume of the shipping container, we can use the formula V = B x h, where:
V = volume
B = base area
h = height
First, we need to calculate the base area (B) of the container:
Base area (B) = length x width
B = 20.5 ft x 12.25 ft
B = 251.125 ft^2
Now, we can calculate the volume of the shipping container by multiplying the base area (B) by the height (h):
V = B x h
V = 251.125 ft^2 x 8.25 ft
V = 2071.81 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the shipping container is 2071.81 cubic feet.
